Request a cash offerThe short answer
Share the Bluefield address, the condition and occupancy you know, and the date that matters. We can compare the house as it sits with the repair, cleanout, showing, and carrying costs of a listing. You decide whether a direct offer or a listing plan fits better.
Selling choices
A listing may fit when you can prepare the house, allow showings, respond to inspections, and wait through a buyer’s financing and closing. Compare likely proceeds after repair work, cleanout, commissions, concessions, utilities, insurance, taxes, and the time you may carry the property.
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. You can compare written price and terms before deciding, without first paying for listing preparation.
We give you the written offer and terms before you commit, and close through a title company.
Compare what you might keep after costs and obligations for this house, not only the first number on a page. The calculator below lets you adjust the assumptions.
Cash Offer and EZ Sale are different ways to buy. Compare the written numbers and terms with the work, timing, and responsibilities that matter for your property; you choose what works best for you.
We have two ways to buy. A Cash Offer is built for speed, condition, and tough situations — heavy repairs, tight timelines, difficult circumstances. EZ Sale is often the better fit when the house doesn't need major repairs and you want a higher number. Either way, you compare written numbers and you pick what works best for you.

Net proceeds are what you keep after costs, not the sale price. Adjust the calculator assumptions for your property and compare a listing plan with a direct offer.
Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home’s condition.

Citywide boundary data places Bluefield, West Virginia, in Mercer County. For a particular property’s county records or court matter, the county office uses the property’s location.
The 2025 City plan describes smaller residential lots along Oakhurst Avenue, College Avenue, and Shenandoah Street in South Bluefield. If a smaller yard affects upkeep or listing preparation, compare that work separately from repairs to the house.
The plan places a preferred-development area near Hill Avenue and Old Bramwell Road in Midway. If a project or permit question there affects your timing, include the information you have when comparing a sale as-is with doing the work first.
2025 City of Bluefield Comprehensive Plan
The City’s Inspection and Code Enforcement Division investigates complaints and handles building-permit work. West Virginia law allows cities to address unsafe buildings through local ordinances; an as-is agreement does not erase an order or lien.
Paperwork, occupancy, and deadlines
An inherited West Virginia house can sometimes be sold before probate is finished, but who signs depends on the will and appointment papers. An executor must qualify before acting for the estate. If there is no will, the county commission or its clerk handles appointment of an administrator. A will may authorize the executor to sell real estate not specifically left to someone else, unless the will says otherwise. If there is no usable power to sell, the title company or a West Virginia attorney can confirm which owners must sign. We can work with the title company while it checks the estate papers.

A sale may still be possible if the loan can be paid off before the auction. With a deed of trust, the named trustee can sell the house at public auction after default without a court case. Notice generally must be published in the county once a week for two weeks in a row; the trustee must also send notice by certified mail, return receipt requested. The notice counts when mailed to the required address, even if it comes back, and a narrow exception applies to an older deed of trust. Treat the auction date as the deadline for completing a sale and payoff; have the title company or an attorney confirm the current date and amount needed.

Yes. A buyer of leased property steps into the landlord’s position, and the tenant keeps the lease rights they had against the seller. A sale by itself does not require a tenant to move. The purchase terms and closing statement can account for each lease and deposit. When a tenancy ends, the landlord then must return any deposit owed; the general deadline is 60 days or 45 days after a new tenant moves in, whichever comes first.

The first county excise tax is $1.10 per $500 of value. An additional county excise tax of 55 cents per $500 applies, and a county commission may raise it to as much as $1.65. Each $500 or fraction counts. The county clerk also collects a $20 Affordable Housing Fund fee before recording. The title company can confirm the rate for the property’s county. By law, the seller pays unless the buyer accepts the deed without the tax paid.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the West Virginia real estate transfer excise tax and the additional county excise tax. Your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes remain separate.
